The Yonsama that I met *words in bold*


*Female Narration*

Participating in the 24 Hour Television last year.
Also making an appearance in the drama 「Dream High」produced by Bae Yong Joon
Even Bae Yong Joon has expectations for this next generation Hallyu star, Kim Hyun Joong
What kind of person is the Yonsama that you have met?


Hello, this is Kim Hyun Joong *in Japanese*

Bae Yong Joon Sunbae gives everyone the impression that he is a very perfect, secretive person right?

But he is actually a very humanely and humorous person.

Saying interesting things that makes one slip… *laughs*

Anyway he is very sincere
Taking care of me like I’m his younger brother

As what everyone has feel about him
as someone who do not reveal his mysterious, personal side,
When you meet him you will understand about him full of humanity
And feel his friendliness

The most surprising part is his radical self management
And I also feel that he is an impressive person for his passion towards his work

My wish is…
Though fans probably would not want it

but

I wish for him to marry a wonderful woman. *laughs*

■I just want to be a half of Bae Yong Joon.

Bae Yong Joon greatly influenced me to change my agent. People call me “Post Bae Yong Joon”. I like to hear that. I have to be similar to him, so I can be better than him. I wish I could be just half of him. I think I’m about 25% of him. Anyway, I think I look like him too.

A while ago when I visited China, a fan asked him if I was Bae Yong Joon. She requested my autograph but I refused. She insisted by saying that I was Bae Yong Joon and told me not to lie. I couldn’t take off my sunglasses and I felt pressured. Would it be strange to say, “I’m not Bae Yong Joon, I’m Kim Hyun Joon.”? I didn’t end up giving her my authograph; it bothers me to know that I may have discouraged one of Bae Yong Joon’s fans. I didn’t tell Bae Yong Joon about this story. (smile)

Bae Yong Joon is the main character who led Kim Hyun Joon to his new agent. Bae Yong Joon, himself accomplished the contract between Kim Hyun Joong and Keyeast. Kim Hyun Joong is called “Little Bae Yong Joon” these days. Come to think of it, they are quite similar when they smile too.

“I heard that I’m getting more similar to him. It’s kind of a burden on me, but it’s not bad. Bae Yong Joon and Jang Dong Geon are the first generation of Hallyu stars and it’s about time for the second generation to come. Following their work is truly admirable. Bae Yong Joon encouraged me by saying “Don’t stick to the viewing rate too much when “Mischieveous Kiss” was airing. I didn’t have a chance to meet him because of my busy schedule after the drama ended. But we keep in touch.”

With a smile, Kim Hyun Joong also said , “I don’t have a role model. I don’t want to be one who is similar to someone else. I just want to follow my own dream. I like the words, “Little Bae Yong Joon” because I know he is a great man. Little means “Little” (suehan: I used the word, “Little” twice because it was written in English phonic first and explained its meaning second.) It means that it’ll become big soon.”

Kim Hyun Joong, who changed his agent to Keyeast recently, is getting lots of help from his senior, Bae Yong Joon. In private meetings, they call each other older brother and younger brother. They already have openly confidential talks.

Kim Hyun Joong said, “I usually talk about daily life stories when I meet hyeong (Bae Yong Joon). Sometimes we talk about serious matter. A while ago, hyeong said that if he is the first generation of Hallyu star, So Ji Sup is the second generation, and I’m the third generation. He said that he had gone through hard times because he had to pioneer everything by himself. He also said that he was envious of me because it looked like I was getting lots of help from people around me.”

Kim Hyun Joong disclosed his close hyeong, Bae Yong Joon’s private life.

Kim Hyun Joong talked about Bae Yong Joon’s recent home purchase by saying “He might have purchased the house for the future, but I can definitely guarantee that he doesn’t have a girlfriend right now.” He meets with him a few times a week. and visits Bae Yong Joon’s house several times as well.

“I imagined the palace before I visited his house for the first time; I imagined bundles of bills and a money box piled up. I thought there was a swimming pool as well. But the difference between his house and other houses was the spinning wheel for pottery which was located in the middle of the living room. A countless amount of books, nearly as many as a book store was there.”

He also said, “I wondered how he could manage himself so perfectly. I am accustomed to writing down memos and keeping promises because of him.”

“I’m not a Hallyu star yet. It is a great deal to say it that way. I’m just preparing for it. It’s true that Yong Joon hyeong helps me a lot. People think that we talk about special matters, but we just talk about our average daily lives. It seems that we talked until about 1:00 am yesterday.

Meeting between Bae Yong Joon and Kim Hyun Joong. There will be many excited fans when they hear about the meeting between them. But they have not made any public appearances yet. “It’s really strange. Because we do not go to special places but we go to the café where everybody goes. I thought the pictures would have been posted on the internet, but it never happened. It’s weird. Isn’t it?”

Kim Hyun Joong, who is the closest friend of Bae Yong Joon, said that Bae Yong Joon doesn’t have any plans for marriage yet. He said, “We frankly talk about lots of private matters. Whenever hyong has a chance, he pressures me to introduce him to a girl. But I feel helpless because even I don’t have a girl friend. He only bought the house, but I could feel his great popularity again from the marriage rumors.” He also said that “If Yong Joon hyeong marries; he will release the news to media in advance due to his position. I don’t think you will hear the news regarding his marriage soon, since he doesn’t have a girl friend.”

-Can you remember any of the gifts you have received from Bae Yong Joon?

"I got Puer Tea from him. He said that it was a good one.”

Kim Hyun Joong called Bae Yong Joon a good adviser and reliable senior. Right after the first episode of “Mischievous Kiss” aired, he received a text message from Bae Yong Joon saying, “Don’t stick to the viewing rates too much.”

“Hyeong advises me a lot. Regarding acting, he said, “Work comfortably to be a seasoned actor because burden produces only burden. He also said, “It is important to show the development process.” And it encouraged me a lot. His advice about the donation from the profits to the society also influenced me a lot. He advised me, “Don’t be shy or embarrassed when you help someone.”

Kim Hyung Joong returned to MBC's "Mischievous Kiss", one year after "Boys over Flowers", but he received a poor review with disappointing one digit viewing rates. Expections were high because it was the first work since he moved to Bae Yong Joon's management company, Keyeast.

"When the viewing rate was low after the first episode aired, Yong Joon hyung sent me a text message saying, "it hit rock bottom, so I think it'll go up. Don't think about the viewing rates too much." I think it was a good experience because the rate continues to fluctuate. I learned how to cope with difficulties and I experienced that "When God closes one door, He opens another.". I hoped that it would be recognized in foreign contries some day, if not in Korea. I don't want to regret it."

Bae Yong Joon is a great senior for him, like a role model, and they have very good chemistry between them.

"There were plenty of rumors after my contract with DST Entertainment ended. Actually, I wanted to go to Yong Joon hyong's management compnay, but I couldn't speak to him frankly. One day, I talked to him about my problem with the management company. He said that He wanted to meet me to introduce me to the owner of his management company. And the CEO came with the contract. (laugh) So, I was glad."

From the KHJ’s interview in the magazine, Women Joongang October issue.


(omitted)

There was a rumor that Kim Hyun Joong made a remarkable improvement in popularity because of his leading role in the band SS501 and his previous drama “Boys over Flowers” both moved into the entertainment industry in Japan. That rumor turned out to be true. Recently, he made an exclusive contract with ‘Keyeast’ which is operated by Bae Yong Joon, and it’s said that he is getting more gifts in Keyeast than Yonsama. It’s the first time since the company was founded that Bae Yong Joon was not the leading receiver of gifts. However, Bae Yong Joon is happy that he was able to sign Kim Hyun Joong.



“Yong Joon hyeong (suehan: big brother) and I often chat about relationships with women while having drinks.”


Kim Hyun Joong was selected as the next generation Hallyu star since he became popular in the Asian market, including Japan. And then, the original Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon picked him around the time when his contract with his previous agency was about to expire sometime last June. He became Yonsama’s man. He considers Yonsama as his role model. I was wondering how he thinks about the president, Bae Yong Joon. He called Bae Yong Joon as “Yong Joon hyeong” without hesitation when he was asked about their relationship.

“Frankly I was nervous when I met him the first time. His power and status was so strong when he got out of his car. I thought I was looking at the demigods like the King or Zeus. He isn’t a type of person who goes around puffed up or shows off, but I might have felt intimidated by his name “Yonsama”. After we exchanged a few words, I realized that “Ah.. He is a human being like me”. Now I think of him as a brother in the neighborhood.”

Bae Yong Joon makes a mythical impression like he doesn’t get along with people or he refrains himself from the outside world. But it’s said that he is just not noticed. He is a busy bee and is comfortable with his friends.

There is a fourteen years age difference between the two of them. They communicate and get along very well even though their age difference represents that of an uncle – nephew relationship. Recently, Bae Yong Joon and he, only the two of them, have been together about two or three times a week. They chat comfortably about the usual life stories, not dramas or albums, while they drink a coffee and green tea.

Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder of his agency; Kim Hyun Joong is a new face who Bae Yong Joon signed enthusiastically. In other words, they have a “president” and “a competent new employee” relationship. But Kim Hyun Joong said, “Looking at him from the side, Bae Yong Joon is easygoing, different than I had expected. He feels uncomfortable about the nickname which was given to him by the media. He becomes serious (?) by saying, “Don’t’ mess around with my name. Say my real name” when his friends make a telephone call and say “Hi, Yonsama”.

“I just call him Yong Joon hyeong. I can’t call him ‘the president’ or ‘Yonsama’. I can’t call him Ahjeossi (suehan; It means middle-aged man) either (laugh). I have a very comfortable relationship with him. We talk about our problems and we chat for hours easily. Sometimes, we get excited about pretty girls when we’re drinking. We talk about old girlfriends as well. We’re just like other men.”

He took over the cosmetic brand, ‘The Face Shop’, advertisement where Bae Yong Joon worked as a model. The photos and concepts of the advertisement give off a similar image that of Bae Yong Joon’s. This coming December, he will go to Japan with Bae Yong Joon for a stage appearance. It seems that his agency is operating ‘the little Yonsama project’ a bit intentionally. But Bae Yong Joon doesn’t coach him. “He doesn’t direct me to do this and that, every detail. I just watch him on the side and learn what I need from him when it is necessary.

Hyeong is very thorough in his self-management. He’s never shown a weak appearance to others. I try to take after his qualtiies. Aside from taking after him I think the expression of ‘Little Yonsama’ is too overestimated. I’ve never encountered the fans even after the events in Japan because I have only stayed in the hotel. So, I’m not sure whether I’m popular or not. Are you asking me why the fans like me? Hmm.. Because, I’m cute (laugh)”
